Original SH.u.Co, the 4 stemmed type . It looks like it have been there, a nice worn condition.

If you have the possibility, check if the whole badge is magnetic. I have a hunch that this could be a rare steel badge.

[martin guerre]

Thank you Hans.But about the pin, it is not a little bit longer ?

[martin guerre]

Hi Hans.All the badge is magnetic. Martin.

But about the pin, it is not a little bit longer ?

If i understand you right here, your asking if the needle is to long?

If so, no it´s not. The hinge is placed a bit lower that usual and thats why the pin look longer.

Congrats to a rare Steel SH.u.Co. With your i know of 5 Steel IAB´s by this maker, 3 of them is the 5 stemmed type!

If your ever gonna sell it, please contact me

[martin guerre]

Thank you Hans for your reponse .But can you explain to me what is 4 or5 stemmed ?

hi Hans

Don't you think the hinge is a bit short? Martin, what is the opening direction of catch?

regards

Idny

[martin guerre]

Hi Indy.Do you want to know if it's right or left ? It's right. Regards Martin.

[Indy]

Thx Martin

Because marker marked SHuCo (4 stemmed type solid) IABs are opened in left, mostly unmarked SHuCo type IABs are opened in right. I said unmarked SHuCo is kind of SHuCo type because it looks like SHuCo IAB, but it lacks of some typical SHuCo IAB characters(I mean 4 stemmed with maker mark). Moreover, SHuCo IAB had been faked, so that's so confusing. Anyway I will prefer to take SHuCo with MM.

Dear Martin,

its the vains on the top right leaf. Some SH.u.Co´s have 4 vains and some have 5.
